US "left"'s mask increasingly slipping

[NecessaryScene1]

Saw this via Ovarit, and it's quite jaw-dropping.

This is some reasonably-high profile American YouTuber/streamer called Vaush - I don't think he's particularly mainstream in what passes for the "left" there, but he is certainly part of it.

Here he is reacting to some video featuring Selina Soule - Connecticut student athlete who's fighting a legal battle for female-only sports.

And - oh my god. You do associate this sort of thing with America, but 20-30 years ago it would have been some right-wing shock jock type like Rush Limbaugh.

Now some on the "left" sound... exactly like that.

I offer this as maybe a companion piece to the other thread "Does anyone ever have a "are we the baddies" moment?"

This young woman is how old? 16? 17?

Yeah I can’t watch any more of that, he’s vile.

This young woman is how old? 16? 17?

I believe she's heading to university, so i guess 18 or 19 now. Would have been 16/17 when all this started.

Ugh. I lasted 27 seconds.

I hate those kind of videos, those where some useless internet twonk slags off someone who is actually doing something with their lives.

I hope Selina keeps running and keeps fighting for womens rights.

Ooh, I stopped at "you dumb bitch!"

Mask, slipped.

He sounds like a stalker

Vaush is part of a group of left wing Youtubers called 'breadtube' and it is incredibly male dominated. They all believe in TWAW and seem to have seized this gleefully as a way to be as misogynistic as they like towards women.If these men were really liberal as they say they would not be calling women 'sluts' or 'bitches' like this guy. It really does seem like this is an excuse for them to be sexist while appearing to be right on.

I didn’t watch it all, I assume he ejaculates at the end, right?

I'm torn between wanting to view for my own evidence and not wanting to give him clicks. I think I shall believe you lot as I don't want to add to his views.

Why is it called breadtube?

That was the most misogynistic thing I've ever seen in my entire life. It's very disturbing.

Don't worry, it's a 5-minute edit posted by a feminist user. Still hard to stomach, but there's a friendly crowd in the comment section.

Thanks 😊

Good moment to repost this recent Twitter observation:

The reason why so many extremely woke people turn out to have been bigoted in the past is because bigotry used to be the best way to bully and intimidate people, but now performative anti-bigotry is the best way to bully and intimidate people. An evolving toolset for sociopaths.

I lasted all of 2 seconds before I noped out of there.

Another misogynistic beardy bastard.

That's pretty typical for Vaush, for women he doesn't agree with.

You should see him "debate" people - he's so agressive and pompous.

Why is it called breadtube?

After The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin

Other notable Breadtubers :

Hbomberguy - Mermaids charity stream
Contrapoints - transwoman, misogynist, makes disingenuous videos
PhilosophyTube (Abigail Thorn) - recently came out as trans, misogynist, makes disingenuous videos

Wow!

I stopped listening at Dumb C@@t

Actually that's the worst I've seen from him, bearing in mind he's talking about a high school girl. What a POS.

Anyone accusing these guys of terrible things on a constant basis or... is that saved for women? I wonder...

Hit send too soon, meant to add a thanks to the OP for this. It's really useful to remember just how bad some of the misogyny on the left is.

Wow. He has definitely found a 'legitimate' outlet for his misogyny hasn't he?

I saw that tweet the other day that @MenopausalCrone has posted. Underneath there were dozen of others tweets saying similar things.

These people really do hate women don't they?

Here is Vaush saying he believes CSA films should not be illegal

That was ... interesting. Not really surprised. Is this person linked to the Democratic Party in some way?
